Volumes and Breathing Patterns during Speech in Healthy and Asthmatic Subjects.
Loudon, Robert G.; And Others
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v31 n2 p219-27 Jun 1988
Lung volumes and ventilatory patterns used by 10 healthy and 14 asthmatic subjects during conversation, monologue, and counting at two loudness levels were studied. Asthmatics were found to favor respiratory over communications needs. They used a greater percentage of their reduced vital capacity, with slower inspiratory and faster expiratory flow rates than healthy subjects used. (Author/VW)
